Manti Te'o documentary
Including this thread in the main since he's a former Saint. If you haven't heard about it yet this new documentary is a must-watch. Pretty well done, except for some parts that felt rushed and a few aspects I didn't like (don't want to spoil it). I'm glad this documentary came out to hopefully get rid of the false narrative that Manti "made the girl up" - which the documentary totally debunks.
Definitely a lot to unpack here, curious what you guys think of it after watching, let me know. PS - documentary is on Netflix, pretty new and popular and easy to find. |

Until watching it, I had forgotten just how good Teo was in college.

I've got a lot of empathy for what he went through. Hope Te'o is doing great post-career. |
